The Element of Earth

Kenko was the Shape of Health, and also the Element of Earth.

She understood better than anyone the importance of nature for life in Esperia.

Through her connection with the planet, she could sense the need to protect it—not only for the beauty of the countless life forms that lived upon its surface, but also for the survival of the Espers, the magical beings who had finally reached a state of harmony.

To her, it was clear that caring for one’s health was inseparable from caring for the world in which one lived.

The StarDust of the Espers attuned to the Element of Earth produced far more Aether than the other elements.

Even before Vati and Eklea discovered the flow of Aether, Kenko could already feel that overusing magic was quietly draining the planet of something vital.

In truth, it was drawing upon the source of life itself.
